Data Science in the cloud with Microsoft Azure

The Microsoft Azure cloud platform is a rich environment for performing data science with all the benefits of not needing to purchase and manage the underlying infrastructure. Common Open Source Software languages and packages are supported including R and Python as well as technologies aimed at making it easy to operationalise your models e.g. Azure Machine Learning and Azure Data Factory. In this session I’ll demonstrate how you can get started using these technologies and walk you through integrating them together to quickly build sophisticated solutions.

Cloud computing, data science, big data and the Internet of Things are widely recognised as the future technologies of IT and are certainly receiving most the hype. Martin is in the fortunate position of having a job where he gets to design solutions using them all.
